‘Cecilia’ Harmonica Lesson (Harp Tabs & Backing Track)

Hello! In today's harmonica lesson we're playing Cecilia by Simon & Garfunkel. Grab a C harp and follow the tabs!

The song is tabbed out for diatonic harmonica (in any key). The symbols I use are pretty basic - positive numbers are blow, negative numbers are draw.
